BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 15. The restoration of
Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur has become an effective model of
post-conflict rehabilitation, said Ramil Jahangirov, a
representative of Azerbaijan’s State Committee for Urban
Development and Architecture, Trend reports.
Speaking Friday at the international conference “Shaping Human
Capital for Sustainable and Resilient Urban Development” in Baku,
Jahangirov said the nearly six-year reconstruction process in the
region has demonstrated a successful and functioning rehabilitation
model.
“Looking at almost six years of development in Karabakh and
Eastern Zangezur, we can proudly say today that this is already a
very good and functioning model of post-conflict rehabilitation,”
he said.
Jahangirov noted that Azerbaijan plans to present the broader
“Great Return” program next week as a comprehensive example of
post-conflict recovery, rather than focusing solely on individual
infrastructure projects.
He emphasized that institutional coordination has been one of
the key elements of the reconstruction process, saying cooperation
among multiple stakeholders is essential for implementation.
According to Jahangirov, the State Committee manages the entire
urban planning process in Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur through a
centralized approach, including land allocation, construction
oversight, and the issuance of operational permits.
“This is necessary to ensure a centralized approach,” he
said.
